MORE: SN ranks the 28 best game analysts, including Collinsworth Basic-as-heck back story here: Collinsworth is the game analyst for NBC’s Sunday Night Football, where he called Patriots vs. Seahawks this weekend. He’s one of the best in the business, and he’s usually pretty critical when necessary. (He also runs Pro Football Focus, where his team has innovated the way we view the game.) Collinsworth probably didn’t appreciate noted Patriots fan Bill Simmons snapping back about his analysis that the Seahawks were playing well....

Collinsworth’s new contract, reported by NY Post’s Andrew Marchand, would last through 2025. NBC is reportedly “deep into negotiations” with Collinsworth about this deal.

“I’m calling on @GovRonDeSantis to protect our democracy by ordering a non-partisan investigation of Florida’s outsized role in the Capitol Insurrection,” Crist tweeted on Friday. “Hate and insurrection can have no home here. DeSantis must act to keep us safe.” As arrests in connection to the deadly attack on the Capitol continue to pile up, Florida has emerged as the state with the highest number of residents arrested for charges related to the insurrection....

Yet, inside the confines of each team’s headquarters, managers and assistants are planning their summer moves. The summer transfer window is filled with fruitless rumors and hope for fans and players alike. But it can also be down-right fun. Every year, at least one big name is linked to a new team. It never fails. This year, it seems Cristiano Ronaldo and Paul Pogba will be the most high-profile players linked to teams other than their own....

Real to beat Deportivo O2.5 goals 4/5 The Portuguese forward reacted angrily to being dismissed during the second half of a 3-1 victory for Zinedine Zidane’s side over Barcelona in the first leg of the Spanish Super Cup. Ronaldo had joined the action as a substitute, helping to put Real 2-1 in front with a typically stunning strike at Camp Nou. He was booked after removing his shirt in celebration, with the 32-year-old going on to mimic Lionel Messi’s iconic jersey-holding celebration at the Santiago Bernabeu from April....

It was hoped signing the five-time Ballon d’Or winner from Juventus might be the final piece in the puzzle for then-manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer after United finished as Premier League runners-up in the 2020/21 season. In reality, although Ronaldo helped himself to 18 top-flight goals, the Red Devils’ season collapsed. Solskjaer was sacked, interim boss Ralf Rangnick couldn’t halt the slide and they finished outside the Champions League places....

Crohn’s disease typically affects people of reproductive age. If you have Crohn’s and plan to become pregnant, you may have understandable fears. You may be worried about your fertility, your disease during pregnancy, whether your baby will inherit the disease, the effect of IBD on the pregnancy itself, and what medications are safe to take during pregnancy. If you are pregnant and have Crohn’s, your doctor should closely monitor your disease and help keep it in a quiet state....

You have to pay close attention to this film, to listen hard to its cross-fires of dialogue. Writer Christopher McQuarrie and director Bryan Singer are talented movie-makers who’ve made one previous film, “Public Access,” which shared the Grand Jury Prize at the 1993 Sundance Festival. “Suspects” marks a big leap forward for this team. It’s a tough movie about five tough guys who first meet in a jail cell where they’ve been brought as suspects in a heist....

Does it matter whether the carnage in Madrid last week was the act of the Basque terrorist organization ETA or of Al Qaeda? Of course there are important differences between the two. ETA is a local organization, Al Qaeda a global one. The former is secular, the latter religious. But they have something in common that is revealing about the nature of terrorism. Both groups had a political agenda, but as their political cause has lost steam, they are increasingly defined almost exclusively by a macabre culture of violence....

One seems like a move that has been far too long in the making, and while the other could be expected, it’s not as clear a case that something needed to change with the club clearly keeping the long term in mind rather than just this tournament. Let’s take a look at what we learned, both from the tactical area and outside of it, in Liga MX Round 14:...

Brandon Larsen downloaded what he thought was a legitimate cryptocurrency app associated with a website he uses, CBS affiliate KUTV reported. Larsen later discovered the app was fake, and it had stolen his information. “Unfortunately it was a lookalike app and I gave access to my digital wallet to a hacker,” he told the broadcaster. Larsen lost $384,006 to the scammers. He said he does not expect to get his money back as it can be difficult to trace such transactions....

When Cubs outfielder Dexter Fowler threw a rogue hat into the crowd at Wrigley Field on Monday in the team’s game against the Mets, surely he didn’t expect a girl donning a Jon Lester jersey to clear one row and, uhhh, rub it on her backside, did he?

What’s new The Cubs aren't very good right now. Now that we've gotten that out of the way, let's focus on the positives. Chicago has a fantastic farm system, which we'll talk about later. It also has a promising young power hitter in Anthony Rizzo, who, despite some noticeable issues last year, improved his BB-rate and isolated power. He has 35-homer potential in the middle of Chicago's lineup. Well, those are the positives....

After Hurdle seemed to chirp at Maddon following an up-and-in pitch to Chicago star Javier Baez, umpire Joe West ejected Maddon for his vocal retort from the dugout. That prompted Maddon to rush onto the field and charge his counterpart. But Maddon, 65, does not have the moves he used to. With West holding him back — and Hurdle staring him down — Maddon attempted a spin maneuver to break free....

John Lackey’s Cubs debut didn’t go as planned Thursday, but his new club was able to come away with the win in Arizona anyway after pilling up 14 runs and 14 hits. MORE: Every team’s fatal flaw in 2016 | Get MLB scores, stats Lackey, who signed a two-year, $32 million contract last winter, earned the win, allowing all six Diamondbacks runs over six innings. Lackey allowed two home runs to Arizona second baseman Jean Segura — a solo shot in the first and an inside-the-park home run in the second....

Such an investigation was long overdue. One of the biggest scandals of the pandemic has been the number of nursing home deaths in New York City, many of them possibly linked to a March 25 directive from the Cuomo administration forcing nursing homes to take in people even if they had tested positive for COVID-19. It would prove a death sentence for thousands of seniors. And to fend off an investigation, the Cuomo administration underestimated the number of nursing home deaths by 40%....

Jackson is in need of some major deweirdification, but the only real moment of insight came from his wife. When Sawyer asked about the meaning behind his facial reconstruction, Jackson just stared at her through cold, bulging, heavily lidded eyes. Finally he said, inexplicably, “I think it creates itself . . .” At that point, Lisa Marie jumped in. “He has every right,” she snapped. “He’s an artist. He resculpted himself....
